I guess it is not surprising that 2009 coming out of the bear market had the most. It is interesting that 2012 did so well. 2013 is a bit early (it could easily develop more if market keeps on trucking).

5 comments:

The EXPE number is wrong. They spun off TRIP back in 2012 and if you look at a Yahoo chart, the numbers to the left of the split should be half of what they are. I had purchased EXPE in early 2011 and my cost per share is $21. The chart shows the cost for that same time period in the low 40s.

I checked and the EXPE calculations are correct. They are both post the spin off and split. One for example was 12/29/2011 tracking portfolio. At that time, EXPE was 29.34. A year later it was $61.44. Throw in some dividends and you get the 111% gain I calculated.
